Growth

His word was more encouraging to our neighbors than any of us could have ever imagined.

His love through our works of charity and willing hearts, has made an impact on people we would never have imagined. His ways are not our ways... and I thank GOD for that. Perhaps had any of us had the ability to look into the future of our past, we might have gotten in the way of what GOD had been planning from the beginning.

Our team was blessed to have some extra hands tonight. For those new friends, it was a completely new experience for them, which I can only trust to be a satisfying feeling at the end of the night.


Our team is currently going through a transition in the growth process where we are now starting to be at the point where leaders take ownership of their duties in whatever the LORD has called them to do in the Ministry.


This week we received a blessing of additional food, which is always a great help financially. That growth is leading us towards the purchase of more materials such as extra chaffing dishes and tables.


I often find myself, during my alone time with Him, asking things like: 'What next?' or 'Are you still leading or am I stepping over you?' My position in the Ministry has given the freedom to roam the area, pray with people, and to join Jason in worship. It seems like GOD always sends the right people in my path to be the right encouragement that I need at the exact time... Tonight, our of our long time guests, had mentioned her car was having mechanical problems. She asked if I would pray with her regarding the issue. Together we lifted it up to the LORD and by the time we were done, she was crying because of the love that she's been shown through GOD in our faithfulness.


It is soooo worth it, even if 1 more person comes to know the LORD!!
